Abstract

Seabed ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass beds play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities. Ketawai Island, located in Central Bangka, harbors rich benthic ecosystems that are currently under pressure from anthropogenic activities such as tin mining, unregulated tourism, and pollution. This study aims to analyze the condition of seabed habitats around Ketawai Island and to develop a conservation zoning framework using a spatial approach. The data used includes Sentinel-2A satellite imagery and 140 sample points analyzed using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The classification resulted in four substrate classes: rubble/dead coral (39.06%), live coral reefs (34.95%), sand (24.68%), and seagrass (1.31%), with a classification accuracy of 85%, validated using a confusion matrix based on 140 reference points, divided into 70% for training and 30% for validation. The conservation zoning was divided into four categories: core zone (providing full protection for healthy coral and seagrass habitats), rehabilitation zone (for ecosystem restoration), limited-use zone (for educational tourism and research under strict regulation), and buffer zone (as a transitional area to mitigate external pressure and support the sustainability of other zones). This study recommends the protection of remaining coral reefs and seagrass areas, along with restoration efforts in degraded regions. The proposed zoning provides a scientific basis for sustainable coastal management and serves as a strategic approach for adapting to climate change.

Abstract

Waste management is a major challenge for sustainable development in Indonesia, where 40.26% of Indonesia’s waste remains unmanaged. Waste banks have emerged as innovative community-based solution that combines waste reduction with socio-economic benefits and agriculture for community. This study aims to identify and analyze the typology and characteristics of waste banks in Ciamis Regency and evaluate their effectiveness in supporting integrated agricultural sustainable waste management systems. The research method uses a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design on three waste bank units: Main Waste Bank (MWB) Ciamis, Unit Waste Bank (USB) Al Huda, and BSU Tumras. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and closed interviews with 18 respondents, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis used descriptive and taxonomic analysis methods.The research results show three main typologies of waste banks in Ciamis Regency: Type A (Large Scale) with a volume >10 tons/month that acts as a strategic coordinator; Type B (Medium Scale) with a volume 1,834.74 kg/month that acts as a coordination-implementation bridge; and Type C (Small Scale) with a volume 443.1 kg/month month that focuses on direct community service. Each typology shows different effectiveness: BSI Ciamis 85%, BSU Al Huda 78% (15% agricultural itegration), and BSU Tumras 70% (12% agricultural integration). The waste bank system in Ciamis Regency has successfully reduced 15% of waste generation to landfills and increased the recycling rate from 25% to 60%, and produced 150 kg/month of organic fertilizer and animal feed support local food security. This study concludes that the diversity of waste bank typologies reflects adaptation to local conditions and contributes to the effectiveness of integrated community-based agricultural sustainable waste management systems.

Abstract

Monitoring mangrove health is essential for identifying stress caused by environmental and anthropogenic pressures, such as salinity, sedimentation, hydrological changes, and land clearing around the mangrove ecosystem. This study aims to map mangrove stress levels in the Air Telang Mangrove Reserve by integrating remote sensing data through the analysis of the NDRE (Normalized Difference Red Edge) index and SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) measurements. A quantitative approach was applied using NDRE analysis from satellite imagery processed with ArcGIS and in-situ SPAD chlorophyll measurements. The NDRE analysis results indicate that mangrove vegetation is predominantly classified as healthy, covering an area of 2,300.61 ha (75.85%), with 2.29 ha (0.08%) categorized as very healthy, 639.14 ha (21.07%) under moderate stress, and 91.10 ha (3.00%) classified as highly stressed or non-vegetated. These findings suggest that the majority of mangroves are in good condition, while only a small portion has been detected as experiencing stress. The correlation between SPAD and NDRE values showed a strong positive relationship with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.748 (p < 0.001) and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.560. These results indicate that the NDRE index can represent chlorophyll content in mangrove vegetation and serve as an alternative to SPAD-based field measurements. Therefore, both SPAD measurements and NDRE vegetation indices can be considered effective tools for assessing the health or stress levels of mangrove ecosystems.

Abstract

Climate change and food security are global challenges on this era. Climate trends play a critical role in characterizing climatic conditions and informing agricultural suitability recommendations in tropical regions. As rapidly expanding tropical urban areas, Palembang and Jambi warrant particular attention regarding to climate and food security challenges. The study aimed to evaluate climate change and suitability for urban agriculture in Palembang and Jambi. The study used secondary data of monthly rainfall, air temperature, relative humidity, and sunshine duration for the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 periods. The collected data were subsequently averaged on a monthly basis for each observation period. Thereafter, the data were analyzed using descriptive method. The results showed that there are obvious differences of climate status between Palembang and Jambi, especially related to rainfall. Rainfall in Palembang is higher than Jambi as represented by number of wet months (5-8 months on Palembang and 3-6 months on Jambi). Meanwhile, the dry season in Jambi is potentially longer than Palembang. There was an indication of increasing air temperature in both regions, as indicated by the higher air temperature in 2019-2023 compared to 2014-2018. The air temperature increases each month in Palembang and Jambi is 1.14% and 0.93%, respectively. Nevertheless, air temperature, air humidity, and sunshine duration were still within the range of tropical plants to grow and be productive. Therefore, the recommendation of suitable cultivation in Palembang and Jambi is almost similar, in March-April and November-December applying cultivation techniques under excess water condition, otherwise in June-August on drought-resistant or minimum irrigation cultivation.

Abstract

Social Forestry Program (PS) is a national initiative aimed at providing legal access for local communities and indigenous groups to manage state forests through schemes such as Village Forests, Community Forests, People's Plantations, Customary Forests, and Forest Partnerships. The goal of social forestry is to improve economic welfare while maintaining the forest ecosystem functions. In the Bayung Lencir District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, there is a social forestry area of approximately 22,093 hectares, consisting of 15 social forestry permits involving 2,154 households. One of the obligations of social forestry permit holders is to protect their area from forest fires. However, from 2014 to 2024, an average of 49 forest fire hotspots occurred annually, with the peak of forest fires occurring during the El Nino years of 2015 (235 hotspots in LPHD Kepayang) and 2019 (169 hotspots in LPHD Muara Merang). These figures reflect the weak capacity for fire mitigation within social forestry groups, limited technical and financial resources, and the lack of policy integration into regional planning. Policy analysis was conducted using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, focusing on policies for improving fire mitigation capacity and firefighting infrastructure, collaboration and partnership policies, policies for increasing village fund utilization, strengthening national policy, and policies for climate change adaptation and disaster mitigation. The policy selection alternatives were evaluated using a priority table for policy alternatives. The prioritized policy recommendation is the improvement of fire mitigation capacity and firefighting infrastructure. To support this policy, a Logic Model Analysis was performed.

Abstract

Community-based conservation is a strategic approach to biodiversity conservation, especially in areas with strong social and cultural ties to natural resources. However, the effectiveness of collaborative governance within this approach is often not fully understood, particularly in relation to the dynamics of power relations and interdependence between actors. This study aims to analyze the roles, influences, and relationships among key actors in supporting the performance of sea turtle conservation programs at the Turtle Conservation and Education Center (TCEC) in Serangan, Bali. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines MACTOR analysis to map the influence-dependence structure of eight key actors and quantitative descriptive analysis to assess management performance based on the perceptions of 30 respondents. The results show that Bandesa Adat Serangan has the highest influence as the holder of socio-cultural legitimacy, while TCEC Management is the most central actor with the highest level of dependence on multi-actor support. TCEC management performance is generally rated as Good to Very Good, with the highest scores for Sea Turtle Population Conservation (4.60) and Education (4.55). These findings confirm that synergy between customary institutions and formal managers is a key factor in the success of conservation governance. The resulting policy implications encourage the strengthening of community-based collaborative mechanisms in the design and implementation of sustainable coastal conservation programs.

Abstract

Peat swamp forests in South Sumatra play a vital role in climate change mitigation through carbon storage and hydrological regulation. However, anthropogenic pressures such as illegal logging, land conversion, and recurring fires have led to severe ecosystem degradation, including within the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve, which covers approximately 86,932 hectares. This reserve serves as a critical habitat for endemic flora and fauna but has experienced a decline in forest cover and ecological functions, ultimately affecting its carbon storage capacity. This study aimed to estimate vegetation density and carbon stock through a combination of field observations, spatial analysis (land cover change, NDVI, and carbon stock), and allometric approaches. Eight plots measuring 20×20 m were established based on the 2024 land cover map, representing similar secondary forest vegetation structures. The analysis followed SNI 7724:2011 standards for carbon stock measurement and calculation. The results revealed significant land cover changes between 2020 and 2024, including a reduction in secondary peat swamp forest and an increase in open areas, plantations, and water bodies. NDVI values and allometric measurements indicated spatial variations reflecting vegetation growth dynamics and carbon absorption potential. Plot 8 and Locus 4 recorded the highest carbon accumulation, at 1.602 and 10.63 tons CO₂e ha⁻¹, respectively, influenced by the dominance of Mahang species (Lauraceae family), vegetation density, and stand age. These findings highlight the critical role of secondary peat swamp forests in maintaining carbon balance and supporting peatland ecosystem restoration at the landscape level. The results also provide scientific evidence for developing sustainable management and conservation strategies for the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve.

Abstract

The use of Local Microorganisms (LOM) in rice farming is an effort to utilize local resources and reduce cultivation practices that use chemical inputs. This study aims to compare the income and feasibility of lowland rice farming between farmers who use and those who do not use LOM in Pandan Enim Village, Tanjung Agung District, Muara Enim Regency. The research method used is a case study with a stratified disproportionate random sampling technique, each involving 15 LOM users and 15 non-LOM users. Data are described mathematically using the farm income formula and the ratio of revenue to production costs. The results indicate that increased rice production leads to higher incomes for LOM users compared to non-LOM users. The R/C value in the LOM user group is also greater than 1 and higher than the non-LOM user group, so rice farming with the application of LOM is declared more feasible to cultivate. Thus, the use of LOM is proven to provide better economic benefits and is worthy of being recommended as an efficient and sustainable rice crop management technology at the farmer level.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability status of rice husk waste processing as fuel for Biomass Power Plant (PLTBm) at PT Buyung Putra Pangan. The research was conducted in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province, from January to May 2023. The approach used was an expert preference approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving various stakeholders. Data were analyzed using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method integrated into the RAPFISH software, focusing on three sustainability dimensions: social, economic, and environmental. The results showed that the economic dimension was categorized as moderately sustainable (index 61.21), while the social (45.92) and environmental (38.56) dimensions were categorized as less sustainable. The average sustainability index of 48.56 indicates that the rice husk waste processing at PT Buyung Putra Pangan is generally in a less sustainable status. These findings highlight the need for improvements in sensitive attributes, particularly in managing environmental impacts and enhancing community outreach, to ensure that the rice husk processing aligns with sustainable development principles.
